### Motivation


Carbon Emissions: Which nations are contributing the most to Climate Change?

With the annual reports of anthropogenic climate change being more dire, and that carbon emissions need to be reduced, I found it important to see who was contributing the most and whether those reductions were being met.

Some of the research questions for this project:

1. Which nations have contributed the most to climate change in terms of CO2 emissions?

2. What are the factors that have led to such high emission rates?

3. Which nations, if any, have reduced their emissions?




Column {.tabset data-width=800}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


All of the data for this project was obtained from Our World in Data.

We will be looking at data between 1949 and 2019.



### Variables in Dataset


The following are some of the variables:

-Country

-Year

-Total Emissions

-Trade Emissions

-Consumption Emissions

-Production Emissions

-Emissions by Income




### Modifications in R 



The data from OWID begins in 1750 and only contains 223 countries. From 1949 onward, there are 224 countries included in the dataset.In order to have more consistentcy, the data files were modified to begin in 1949 so all emissions will be counted from there. The dataset also previously accounted for total emissions, but for the purposes of this analysis, the emissions data were modified to account for the average both per year and all-time.
